WebVR

WebVR is an API specification that enables virtual reality experiences directly in web browsers without requiring additional plugins or software. It provides a standardized interface for accessing VR hardware like headsets and controllers, allowing developers to create immersive 3D content using web technologies such as JavaScript and WebGL. This makes VR more accessible by eliminating the need for native app installations.

Also known as: Web VR, Web-VR, WebXR (as successor), Browser VR, VR in Web
🧊Why learn WebVR?

Developers should learn WebVR when building cross-platform VR applications that need to run in browsers on devices like Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, or mobile VR headsets. It's ideal for creating interactive educational content, virtual tours, or product demos that can be easily shared via a URL, as it leverages existing web development skills and tools. Use it for projects where broad accessibility and quick deployment are priorities over high-performance native VR.
